Colon Hydrotherapy & Urinary Tract Infections

Poor colonic health and urinary tract infections can take a toll on the body. Fortunately, with advances in both traditional and alternative medicine, people with these ailments can now consider a number of options.

Colon Hydrotherapy

• Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is an alternative medical therapy procedure to 'wash' the colon and intestinal tract. A professionally-trained colon therapist administers the procedure.

Benefits

• Colon hydrotherapy has proved beneficial in a number of ways. While used for detoxification, and restoration of the colon, this procedure has also proved helpful in weight loss and prevention of certain diseases. This type of alternative therapy is becoming more and more popular.

Urinary Tract Infection

• The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra. A urinary tract infection (UTI) can occur when any of these things become infected. As a general rule, infections further up the urinary tract tend to be more serious.

Symptoms

• Symptoms include, trouble urinating, such as burning or needing to urinate often, cloudy, foul-smelling urine, blood in the urine, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, mild or high fever, shaking chills, or flank pain.

Treatment

• UTI treatment involves taking prescription antibiotics, drinking plenty of water and taking pain-relieving medicine. Since coffee, spicy foods, and alcohol can irritate the bladder, they should all be avoided.
